The ramp up of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) could lead to severe grid issues but also enables flexibility. This paper provides an overview of the challenges and potentials of integrating BEVs in urban and rural power grids. Three charging strategies were modelled on four use cases and six low voltage grids for urban and rural areas. Especially in rural areas, where many cars charge at home overnight, the charging strategy significantly affects grid issues. Purely market-oriented strategies can lead to high load peaks and thus to transformer and line overloading, while even a relatively simple, balanced charging strategy can significantly reduce grid issues.
